(although i'm doing this with a new FC3t2 box, i can't imagine it
will make a big difference from FC2).
i want to configure my first headless server, and want to make sure
i do it properly so i don't hang it the first time and can never
recover. :-P
installation:
FC3t2
X + KDE (in case i want to occasionally slap a
keyboard, mouse and monitor on for convenience)
all the standard GUI and cmdline admin tools
now, to make this headless, from googling a bit, i plan on doing the
following:
1) default run level of 3
2) modify BIOS to ignore missing keyboard (if that's relevant here)
3) add "apm=off" to GRUB boot line (what about acpi?)
from my reading, that would seem to be sufficient. thoughts?
